This volume covers the technologies, machine tools, and operations of non-traditional machining processes, and assisted machining technologies. Two separate chapters of this volume deal with the machining techniques of difficult-to-cut materials, such as stainless, super alloys, ceramics, and composites. Design for machining, accuracy and surface integrity of machined parts, environment-friendly machine tools and operations, and hexapods are also presented. The topics covered throughout this volume reflect the rapid and significant advances that have occurred in various areas in machining technologies and are organized and described in such a manner to draw the interest of the reader. The treatments are aimed at motiving and challenging the reader to explore viable solutions to a variety of questions regarding product design and optimum selection of machining operations for a given task

PRINCE2 is firmly established as the world's most practiced method for project management and is globally recognised for delivering successful projects. The updated 2017 guidance, its first since 2009, places a strong emphasis on the scalability and flexibility of the method and on how best to tailor it to the complexity and specific requirements of a project. The best practice represented by the PRINCE2 method is supported by a scheme that offers three levels of certification: Foundation, Practitioner and Professional. The PRINCE2 method comprises of seven themes, principles, and processes and equips practitioners with the skills and knowledge to manage projects in a wide range of environments

The technology of hot runners in plastic moulds is becoming more widely used, and this has been accompanied by an increase in the range of hot runner systems available. This development has meant that in manufacturing practice, the user of hot runner moulds is faced with the problem of how to make an informed comparison between the systems on offer from the mass of technical information at his disposal. The large range of hot runner systems on the market and the complex link between their design and the result obtained in practice means that many designers and users have difficulty in making t
